region

A region is a defined geographical area that shares common features, characteristics, or boundaries. These features can be natural, like a mountain range or a river, or human-made, such as administrative borders or cultural zones. Regions help us organize and understand the world by grouping areas based on similarities, whether for studying climate, population, language, or government. They can be as broad as continents or as specific as neighborhoods within a city. Essentially, a region provides a way to categorize parts of the Earth to analyze and understand their unique qualities and relationships.
